I LOVE this place. I live in Missouri and have wanted to visit for a long time and finally got the opportunity a few months ago when I was in Minneapolis. It was absolutely amazing- so inclusive, wonderful staff, good organization, large size range, good prices, fans in the fitting rooms. I bought two pairs of pants off the rack that fit me, which is sometimes hard to find, and also two shirts that have become a part of my regular rotation. I really hope someday there's something similar where I live because I really had the best experience here. No notes.

A lovely storefront to visit! Very welcoming, and I was able to find some new favorite pieces for my closet! I have gotten 3 of their Mystery Bags (purchased online), and I have loved every one! It has helped me branch out in fashion, try new things, and look stellar and confident.

2023 Edit:The amount of frustration I have experienced because of Cake is pretty silly. There are so many rules and stipulations and directions for selling, even if you read the whole page on the website about selling, there are some you'll miss and you'll show up only to be disappointed. The not buying on Saturdays thing has kept me from bringing anything in or shopping there for about 5 years, because I work a ton and if I can't come on Sat, I can't really come.I made it work today (a Friday evening), read the page on their site about selling again, took off all the hangers, ran a lint brush over a bunch of clothes, loaded up all the stuff I'd been saving up for literal years, and was excited. It's kind of a haul for me since I live in North Mpls, but I got there after leaving work a little early to make it happen, and was told when I got there at 5:30 pm that they will only be buying for another half hour despite being open until 7. I then asked if I could bring in all my bags for them (packed with Torrid, Lane Bryant, Asos, and Target pieces) and maybe come back another day, but I was told it's one bag max per person. I wanted to scream!As much as I love the body positivity and etc here, I won't be back because of the majorly strict and unnecessary rules that have made it so difficult to deal with the shop at all.In addition, I used to sell handmade plus sized scrunchies here years back, and was getting a pretty small percentage of the sales, so asked about upping the price a bit and was told that the sewing on some of my pieces was "messy" so they probably wouldn't sell for more. ? Maybe it's just me, but shouldn't the customer decide that...?Pretty bummed, but my experience today was the last straw for me.2019: Awesome! Cat is super sweet, clothes are super cute, body positive environment. Love Cake!

This shop is AWESOME! I visited for the first time yesterday and brought a bag of clothes to sell. While waiting, I had the chance to look around and was pleasantly surprised by the selection, prices, cleanliness, accessibility, and friendliness of the staff. They wanted most of what I brought in and offered cash or store credit which I chose the store credit as it was the better deal and it NEVER EXPIRES! I was able to find some new to me items to refresh my wardrobe and I still have store credit left over for my next visit; I can't wait to go back!

I love the mission and values behind this shop. It has been a source of empowerment for me since its inception and I truly feel like I am part of a community. I’m grateful for the tireless work that Cat Polivoda and her staff have put into Cake over the years. I’ve found so many staples as well as more specialty/statement pieces that made me feel so confident. Cheers to Cake for championing fat liberation via fashion! Truly an incredibly inspirational place to shop, on so many levels!!

Well laid out and organized smaller and quieter shop. For the size of the shop they had a good amount of contemporary clothes to choose from in sizes 1X-5X, with separate sections for dresses, pants, shirts, and skirts. Athletic wear separate. Bras, bralettes, and binders in a dresser. Extras like shoes, purses, scarves, and jewelry. Mostly the prices seemed fair, though there was lots of Torrid, which isn't my thing, and seemed like retail. Two dressing rooms. Very nice clerk. Found 1 item.

I love having a place to shop that is geared to those wearing plus size clothing. The whole team makes you feel welcome each time you stop in to shop. I don't think I've ever left there without getting at least one piece of clothing.?

Absolutely not worth your time trying to resell items here. I love the mission and vision of this place, but was offered close to nothing for brand new items that still had tags on them. I also really didn't find anything "fashionable", "cute", or in style here which was really disappointing. Staff were also very unapproachable and unfriendly. You will have better luck selling your stuff on Poshmark or FB Marketplace.

I had the pleasure of booking a style appointment with Paxyshia. She is a super nice knowledgeable stylist who helped me branch out of my comfort zone in a fun way! I didn’t feel judged and she picked out a bunch of pieces. I feel excited to get dressed in the morning which is a first for me. I would love to book with her again next time I want to change up my style. The prices were very reasonable and the clothes were in good condition. I will be shopping here frequently from now on.

Cake is more than a resale shop, it’s a whole community by and for fat folks across the country. Largely (?) left out of the conversation in fashion spaces, Cake facilitates opportunities to celebrate plus size fashion and fat liberation.The pricing is G R E A T , staff creatively cultivates their social media, and I think the community feels collective ownership over this local gem. ?

Cute plus-size clothes, XL-6X. Small but excellent pieces. I love their mission and their efforts towards fat acceptance. They have fat beach days! They rented out a pool so fat people could swim without shame. The owner is super friendly.MASKS REQUIRED, as of July 2023. They have them available just inside the door.
